I love playing with new lighting and I did nearly an identical study about 10 or 15 years ago and I just came across it recently. I was specifically studying the effect that a strong warm side light had on the relatively soft, cool light on the rest of the head. In particular, the edges with in the cool lighting. Amazing how great mind think alike, ha!

Clayton, how luscious. You two have me energized to try this exciting color stuff!
Hi Clayton and Chris
It's so much fun to use different lighting to transform the mundane into an irresistable painting subject. The theater gel makes all the colors so extreme. I did this one recently along with my students. It was interesting because the red light caused the shadow to be an intense green. The blues on the upper planes are from the flouresents that light the studio.
Clayton, I love your sketch. Your work is so painterly.
